OUR APPROACH TO DETOX

Substance abuse harms the mind, body and soul. Detoxification is a process during which the body rids itself of those substances, a key step in restoring health and well-being.

With 24/7 staffing by professionals who have a background in nursing and close proximity to world-class hospitals, our client’s safety is paramount. Clients detoxing at Brentwood House can feel relaxed and secure as they take this important initial step in their recovery journey.

We strive to make detox as comfortable as possible. A physician visits each client upon arrival and throughout detox, ensuring they can receive the most effective medications shown to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. Our entire staff is trained, experienced and dedicated to providing knowledgeable, attentive and compassionate support.

Our Process

All clients receive a comprehensive assessment and individualized plan to guide treatment during detox, and as they continue on in their recovery journey. During detox, which lasts from three to seven days, we introduce a range of medical, clinical and holistic treatment modalities.

Medical – Medications shown to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings may be prescribed according to patient needs and medical necessity.

Clinical – During detox, clients begin the process of recovering physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually from addiction. Because addiction can disrupt sleep patterns, we work with clients on restoring their ability get a restful night’s sleep, and introduce motivational interviewing, helping clients identify purposeful motivations for change.

Holistic – When addictive substances leave the body, clients may feel anxious, fearful and unsettled. We use a variety of holistic therapies to ease these feelings, including massage, breath work, yoga, journaling, and music therapy.

Clients who successfully complete detox leave physically and emotionally prepared for a seamless transition to residential treatment in Malibu at the Latigo House, Corral Canyon or for outpatient addiction treatment.
